Re-piping

Some types of copper piping can cause ongoing maintenance problems and actually lower the value of your home at resale. Shafer provides expert, whole-house re-piping solutions.

Sewer Line Replacement

Shafer professionals utilize state-of-the-art Video Cameras for Drain Line diagnosis- giving us the ability to visualize the condition of your drain lines and helps us to pinpoint problems.

Leak Detection

Shafer leak detection specialists are trained using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to determine exact depth and location of your water, drain or gas line.

Breaking into a slab without positive confirmation of a leak location, is unacceptable. Don’t let anyone dismantle your property just to search for leaks. Finding a slab leak requires technical expertise and experience.

Locating leaks requires the use of modern diagnostic equipment. With the proper equipment, leaks can be found and repaired with minimal disruption to property.

Our highly trained plumbing technicians use non-invasive leak detection equipment to accurately locate the leak to save time, money and avoid unnecessary property damage. Once the leak has been located we will provide you with repair options and up-front pricing.

Pressure Release Valve Installation

Water pressure can play a big part in your plumbing systems ability to bring you quality water. Shafer can help you whether you are experiencing Low or High pressure issues.

High Pressure

Water pressure within the San Antonio Water System can range from 35 to 175 pounds. High water pressure can be controlled by a pressure-reducing valve (PRV) installed on the property owner’s side of the water meter. If you already have pressure-reducing valve, it may need to be adjusted or serviced. Recommended water pressure, especially if you have a water softener or a sprinkler system, is 80 pounds.

Low Pressure

Before you call for service ask yourself; Is the problem at every faucet? If it’s not, you may have a clogged aerator. Check the screens for rust or other particles that may be restricting flow. Clean and or replace aerator.

Low pressure can also be caused by problems with your water heater, water softener or even a water leak somewhere on your property. If cleaning the aerator does not fix your problem, then give us a call and we’ll come out and get it fixed for you.
